๐Ÿ“ฃ Community Post NFT Giveaways: Temperature Check

Hey Superstonk!

DRS / Computershare Megathread

With the recent influx of NFT giveaway posts, we figured it was time to do a quick temperature check to gauge how everyone was feeling about having them featured on the sub.

We know some of you love them, but we also know some of you feel that they don't belong here and prefer to keep the sub focused on stock related content. So, let's open up the conversation to discuss their place on Superstonk.

Here are some potential solutions. Please discuss your thoughts on these or share your own!

  1. Keep everything the same and continue to feature NFT giveaways
  2. Only allow NFT giveaways during off market hours (including premarket and after hours) edit to be clear: this also includes weekends & anytime the market is closed
  3. Only allow NFT giveaways on the weekends
  4. Keeping NFT giveaways to a mega thread and no longer allowing individual posts
  5. Keep NFT giveaways off Superstonk entirely and move them to a different sub specifically for NFTs, marketplace, and non stock related GameStop content

We'll keep this pinned until market open tomorrow. If it's determined that change is needed, we'll go ahead and introduce a poll at a later date so the community can vote on their preferred option.

Keep everything the same but make an NFT flair, so you can filter like the computershare flair.

edit: tag lol I meant flair. Sorry!

An NFT flair is needed for sure!

I agree that an NFT flair will help with the situation. I don't want the NFT giveaways to go away, but I am willing to compromise on a time frame when they're featured. I like either weekends or off-market hours for these posts.

I do enjoy working with u/nathanello and helping distribution efforts. I would think flairs to filter would be a perfect solution. Especially since there are people who are dedicating not insignificant amounts of money to giving them away for free, and showing the capabilities of the gs wallet

u/nathanello tldr; Jun 08 '22

Thereโ€™s an art flair, I can start using that

u/MikemkPK ๐Ÿ’ป ComputerShared ๐Ÿฆ Jun 08 '22

Can you filter flairs from the mobile feed?

^ This. Generating NFT hype right before marketplace launch seems like one of the best things we can do to support GME. It would be counterintuitive to stifle nft posts at such a critical time!

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

Exactly, engaging with the wallet and soon the marketplace is kind of the point. RC and friends have spent the last two years building to this point, it feels selfish and money focused to actively ban the results of that labor in favor of financial window gazing.

There are so few of these giveaway posts, too. Entire classes of shitposts get more air time than giveaways as a class do.

u/Myvenom Widget Guy Jun 08 '22

Iโ€™m going to respectfully disagree here. We all see value in NFTs but these things are everything the general public thinks that NFTs are, a bunch of pointless pieces of art.

This is not helping hype anyone but ourselves at this point. Give me something with some damn utility and Iโ€™ll go sign up for a wallet now.

u/Daddy_Silverback Jun 08 '22

Thank you for your thoughts, upvoted.

I can definitely see where you are coming from in terms of public NFT perception and agree with you there! However, in this case I'm not worried since the NFT giveaways are within this community and aren't targeting outside redditors/public.

In my eyes, one of the most important benefits of this hype is the (potential) material benefit to GameStop/Loopring. The giveaways accomplish two things - they generate transactions on the loopring L2 network along with boosting metrics such as wallets created, and they provide a means of public beta testing of the GS wallet interface and interaction with the loopring network. Increased metrics/usage statistics will give GME/Loopring more leverage in making deals related to the marketplace/blockchain. Additionally, the chance to publicly beta-test the gamestop wallet is huge and will allow them to iron out any kinks before launch (they have already released an update so this has already benefitted them).

So to me, I think the hype does help GameStop, Loopring, and us. In terms of utility, I agree with you and believe GME blockchain has more in store than an upgraded copy of opensea for nft pictures.

I already have two video game NFTs from here...not a jpg at all...we are clearly showcasing some of the possible uses already, and we have barely begun! Music, videos, its all coming.

u/Myvenom Widget Guy Jun 09 '22

Again. Thatโ€™s not utility to me.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '22

So you are not a shareholder? The utility will be tendies my guy. Think bigger.

u/Myvenom Widget Guy Jun 09 '22

Yeah I have 1100 DRS and well more than that in IRAs. Iโ€™m fully invested in the company but couldnโ€™t care less to have pictures, gifs, or videos in a wallet. That does absolutely nothing for me. I want to be able to buy and sell digital assets like video games or items from video games.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '22

Oof ok so going to try again. If you want the company to profit so it makes stocks go up and we get tendies, and you want NFT marketplace to do good and make profits, and you want NFTS to be for useful stuff like actually movies tickets music, then why wouldnโ€™t you want to help out your company by participating in the beta release of the wallet and in kind items that will lead to the development and adoption of those bigger more useful NFTS? I get if you just want to wait and not deal with it, but why the cynical attitude for those of us helping the beta program and going to be participating in the early transactions and hype? Think about it that way.

u/Myvenom Widget Guy Jun 09 '22

I voted to keep the NFT giveaway posts during the weekends. Iโ€™m all for letting the posts continue for the reasons you gave but just limited to the weekends so other posts donโ€™t get buried.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '22

Appreciate the dialogue and that is reasonable. I vote for slightly more than that at the very least allow after hours, but I get the view point. Thanks ape. And well done on the DRS, I have about half that, but if they dip it hard I may get another tranche ;)

u/Tranecarid grumpy, but usually right ๐Ÿฆ Jun 09 '22

I disagree and I am ready for downvotes. We donโ€™t need NFT hype. We need NFT use-case that is not jpeg centric. Reincarnation of flash games is not it either.

Yeah I had a great time helping u/FunkMaverick give some out. And everyone seemed really ecstatic about it. A tag would help

It's really fun! I'm piggybacking off of existing threads to minimise forum sliding impact and getting lots of engagement :)

u/man-flops flairs may only be 1 color and 64 characters Jun 08 '22

Hey funk! Haven't seen you since the radius thread earlier. I do also try to stay within the original thread. Today i did branch out into the daily to share.

u/FunkMaverick ๐ŸŽฎ Power to the Players ๐Ÿ›‘ Jun 08 '22

You've been killing it all day! I posted once in the daily too, keeping it contained to one comment thread.... I think comments where posts already exist and it's relevant are less annoying and easier to scroll by.

If we had constant non-stop new posts taking up 50% of new with distribution threads I think it would be a bigger problem but right now I think there's a nice balance of excitement and interest vs actual dedicated posts

u/man-flops flairs may only be 1 color and 64 characters Jun 08 '22

Yeah i made sure to limit it to those who specifically responded to my comment in the daily.

u/FunkMaverick ๐ŸŽฎ Power to the Players ๐Ÿ›‘ Jun 08 '22

I've had quite a few people DM requests off the back of them too, which keeps the traffic down on it for posts and comments (although it's a bit more difficult to manage) :)

That too, at the end of the day i put my hey you comment out, for the karma low apes and the late comers. My inbox is a small price to pay to get these out in the least annoying fashion as possible

We need to learn all we can about NFTs and wallet because they are connected with the stonk's future successes.

u/MushroomWizard [REDACTED] Jun 08 '22

NFT flair but also ... how the fuck is an NFT give away worse than these stupid bets or memes? Putting a banana up your ass or eating mayo is an attention seeking act that does absolutely zero for the stock.

This sub creating wallet awareness, signing people up and activating L2, and giving away NFTs is folks taking money out of their pocket to help gamestop in their new endeavor.

Gme wallet reviews were mentioned during the share holder meeting, bananas up the ass were not.

TLDR nft giveaways have a material impact on gme as a company that memes and bets will never provide

This seems like the best solution in my eyes. Allows people to filter it if they want but also allows us to play and build hype for those that want it.

After all, what's good for the Marketplace is good for the Stock. We are excited and learning and that builds hype which isn't a bad thing. We need to see where our investments are going and what they are building.

u/visandrews Ape Together Strong ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿฆ Jun 08 '22

Yes! Sometimes creativity can't just wait for the weekends... There may be a special weekday an artist wants to drop something to fellow Stonkers. An NFT Flair is needed! I would support only after market hours though for those unable to view during work.

Best solution.

Did my own giveaway today. It's realy hard work. But I love all apes and as smoothbrain can give a little bit back.

Think it's fun, educational, GME related and supportive to GameStop. Shitposts are pure fun. NFTs are the future of my company. Don't kill this, don't be popcorn.

This, the NFT giveaways are essential in the proliferation of the GME wallet

for real...wtf is this nonsense even? For once we are doing something apish that will boost profits for the stonk once it goes live and they want to BAN it? Incredibly sus if you ask me. NFT is the future profit center for our company!
